First DIY sewing project

[Mpdm21]

Great! What did you learn? Anything you found especially challenging?

Well I discovered to always double and triple check your design. This is actually the second one I cut out because I failed to double the measurement for the pockets. I made mine 5" deep and only calculated for 5 and not 10". But again it is all just practice for my tarp so it served its purpose. I did sew up the modified fell seem for the first so it gave me some practice sewing it.
Oh one more thing I learned.... go with 1/2" seams (1" total).... works a lot better then 3/8". At least when working with nylon.
